Snoogle Body Pillow: Take it or Leave it?

When I was pregnant, I had a hard time getting comfortable enough to sleep so my husband bought me a Snoogle. From then on, I slept like a baby.

A Snoogle is a full-body pillow that's designed to follow the contours of your body. It enables you to sleep in various positions while supporting your back and your belly. It even comes with a cardboard insert that shows you all the different ways you can use it, including after you have the baby to help you breastfeed comfortably or following a c-section to help you heal.

The Snoogle body pillow costs $42.35 at Baby Catalog; $48.95 at Amazon; $49.99 at Target; and $52.99 at Toys R Us.

Are you having trouble sleeping? Will you try a body pillow?

I bought a similar one. Honestly, especially at the time I bought it, it was worth it's weight in GOLD. It really helped immensely. Now I don't use it every night, but I still toss it up on the bed when I'm struggling to sleep or hurting, and it definitely helps.

I love my pillow... it has helped me through a great deal of achy nights. If it is not on the bed I can't sleep...

I am a massage therapist have used the smaller one (it shorter; just doesn't go between the knees) for pregnancy massage and women love it! I even recommended it to a friend when she was pregnant and she loved it too!

It's the best maternity product that i've invested in through out my whole pregnancy. I love it.

I bought a similiar pillow from another store and though only have it a week so far, am really liking it.

My husband thought it was silly to spend $50 on a pillow (and they certainly don't help your sex life... "Wall of Pillows" as my hubby calls it), but man, they're SOOOOO worth it.

I had the horseshoe shaped one and it was worth it's weight in gold. I wouldn't have slept a wink during my pregnancy without it.

I keep changing my mind about it. I use it for a few weeks and then can't sleep so I throw it aside and sleep great. Then I start sleeping horrible again and use it. It is an endless cycle.
